ROCK SPRINGS — It was a beautiful, sunny, Memorial Day morning as many residents gathered to honor military personnel who died while serving the United States.
On Monday, American Legion Archie Hay Post 24 of Rock Springs members hosted three brief ceremonies: one at their post, a second at the Rock Springs Cemetery, and a third at Veterans Park.
It was their way of making sure all of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice: their lives, are remembered on Memorial Day.
During the Rock Springs Cemetery ceremony, the American Legion member Ken Barden played taps on the bugle, while the flag was moved the half-staff.
